Did abbas the boring leader say that if the united states invades on the ground it'd be a big mistake
Analysis
The claim that Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, stated that a U.S. ground invasion would be a "big mistake" or "big disaster" is supported by multiple recent sources, albeit none from highly trusted mainstream outlets. Several reports attribute to Araghchi a warning that Iran is prepared to respond strongly to any American ground invasion, describing such an action as a grave error or disaster. While the sources are mostly unverified or less reliable and focus on Iran rather than Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, the core statement about the U.S. ground invasion being a serious mistake is consistently reported. There is no evidence that Mahmoud Abbas (Palestinian Authority leader) made this statement, and the claim appears to confuse Abbas Araghchi with Mahmoud Abbas. Thus, the claim is true regarding Abbas Araghchi’s statement but false if attributed to Abbas the Palestinian leader.
